Chainsaw Man

Really grim themes, in both story in art. Profound and deeply flawed protagonists. A cynical insight at poverty and homelessnes. Just overall dark and moody atmospheres. Chainsaw Man and Homunculus are really solid works with just the right ratio of depth to action so, as I see it ,neither of them fall into the "pretencious" category or at the other extreme "brainless" category. While CSW defies the boundaries of shounen as a whole genre, Homunculus breaks the confines of what you'd find socially acceptable in a mainstream manga. Anyway if you like glum things in general go check these out.

Both series are slice of life and have their own share of mysteries. There is also a fair bit of traveling in both series, so if you enjoy that aspect it's there too. I think if you like one of these you'll probably also like the other.

Both are similar in that they have humans trying to coexist with a fantastically race with different values. Though it is much more at the front of maid dragon and could be argued that it’s the crux of the story. In Demon mother it is a supporting theme to the motherly themes which are more prevalent. Both have some similar archetypes especially in the character taking care of the fantastical characters.

Tsumi to Kai

not exactly the same, since Tsumi no Kai is way lewder in every way. Also, it does not focus on romance/love, rather it focuses on the meaning of "bdsm", but there is romance tho. Yes, it's a borderline hentai

Both manga have extensive world building. Exotic creatures, magical items , plants etc .. Most similar aspect would be they both have under ground dungeon which have detailed explanation.
So they are similar in world building regards .
-----
Differences -
Made in Abyss focus a lot on complex story and thriller while 'Elf to Shuryoushi no Item Koubou' focus more on whole story and sweet innocent romance.

Half & Half
|
The main protagonists of these two series are similar in the sense that both of them don't like each other in the start of the series and are strangers who met in some unforeseen circumstances. The two manga are not very long and the art style are quite similar. Originality of the two stories cannot be ignored.

Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra: Hametsu no Bunmei de Hajimeru Sekai Seifuku
|
Getting isekaid to a world of a RTS game that they previously played, both MCs are aligned with the evil side of the world. The stories about building a kingdom and conquest.
Joou Heika no Isekai Strategy is a lot darker than Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra, as the MC there is a lot more aggressive compared to the pacifist MC in Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra.

Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra: Hametsu no Bunmei de Hajimeru Sekai Seifuku
|
Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra is about getting isekaid into a world that has game elements from the game the MC had previously played, very similar to Overlord's premise. The only difference is that the MC and follower(s) of Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra do not start off OP and need to level up over time, so the story is more focused on development. However in both stories the "protagonist" is on the evil/dark side, which makes the stories interesting, especially when given perspective from the human/justice factions.

The overarching themes are pretty similar
Both are Iyashikei
Both star adorable and non-sexualised young girls (thank god) who have complicated parental situations and can be weapons-grade adorable
The other lead is a father, or father figure, who have their own major issues
Both have an amazing supporting cast
Both have a strong message about community
Both have the same, epilogue style, ending so it doesn't just hard cut to you having to assume everyone lives happily ever after.

Imawa no Kuni no Alice

Battle of wits with tons of different scenarios.
The psychological fights are somehow advanced and difficult though still understandable.
The creators have amazing creativity and versatility displayed through these stories.
<>Liar Game has an abundance of characters, Imawa no Kuni no Alice has a restricted set of players.
<>Liar Game does not tolerate physical violence, Imawa no Kuni no Alice has no set rules like that.
<>Players in Liar Game can still continue piling up debt, though in Alice in Borderland players die when their visa is expired.

The MC pursues his own dreams and objectives regardless of how many times people around him disagree. This is sort of an adventure with lots of ups and downs.
*Beautiful how panels are stretched and not per se completely filled with text, meaning you're free to think what he'd do and think about in various situations.
